@Chris-Brown I see it now. Thank you!

As an interim solution, you can add a cloud code script or a post-hook to retrieve the missing data, using the profileIds found in the request.

https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/#capi-friend-getsummarydataforprofileid

... "pendingMembers": { "382eb04f-f80c-4bfc-9a12-fca508cad476": { // <- These profile ids "role": "MEMBER", "attributes": {}, "pendingReason": "ASKED_TO_JOIN" } } ...

Thanks for reporting this. I’ll forward it to our team and get it fixed.

@devsleeper - we hope you like it! 🙂

Apologies for the late reply, but thank you! This really clears up the flow for me. 🙂

The only thing regarding FindOrCreateLobby instead of CreateLobby is that the request to CreateLobby is deliberate. While I do intend to integrate FindOrCreateLobby as a "just throw me into a running game" option (which probably is the desired flow in most cases), I also want a player to be able to say "I want to start a game for my friends, and I also want to be the host and set the rules of the room".

I'm just clarifying that in case I'm misunderstanding the intent between the two calls, and that FindOrCreateLobby can indeed be used for either flow that I just described.

Hi @william - thanks for the suggestion - I'll present it to the devs.

One note - when doing custom queries, MongoDB should automatically choose the appropriate index for it -- you shouldn't have to mention it in your query. Thus - adding a custom index for queries that you are finding slow SHOULD pseed them up... (thus your last feature is actually part of the system)

And... the upgrade is complete.

Hopefully a non-event for everyone!

Reach out to support if you see any weirdness!

Cheers,

Paul.

Oh - and one thing that wasn't in the release notes... we bumped up the Design Portal session timeout -- so if you go away from the portal and come back to it later -- there's a better chance that you can pick up from where you left off (instead of being booted and having to re-login).

Thanks @Jonathan
It was a bit confusing since I was thinking in terms of the owner having quick access to all their groups data, but I understand the difference in GetMyGroups now. It's a call on the profile and not on the group.

Almost, but you can't define the price in virtual currency.

The solution I came up with is to make a cloud script that purchases and then immediately sells a user item. The user item has a buyPrice and a sellPrice which effectively does the currency conversion.

Thank you! I've hacked an implementation for now that just guesses the ranks on the client side without grabbing the actual ranks. The players will only discover it if they're playing sitting side by side. 🙂

Update - we've confirmed with the server team that we believe we are all set.

We'll perform some tests when the Sandbox servers cut over the week of Jan 20th to confirm.

Paul.

Hi Eric,

Thanks so much for the update!

Good luck with your app.

Paul.

My profile displays in a different format than my logs do yes - reading 16:05:53.051 PST vs 4:05:53 PM PST, it's not a huge thing but would be nice as preference in profile settings (or cycling format on the log view timestamp itself)

one workaround im thinking of doing is having a "fake" user stat. one that tracks the actually XP and another that's "unlocked XP". then just increase the unlocked XP whenever someone "claims" the milestone

Update - we discussed it and we think you are good to go.

A test of 1000 stats revealed that the resulting statistics object (that contains all values) was only about 64KB - which is smaller than I had feared. So it looks like 2000-2500 stats will come in less than 200KB.

Note - that IS 200KB more data that will be returned during an Authenticate call - and during readUserState() - but it should work okay.

I assume you'll be creating these stats dynamically. That is controlled via the setting on this page (you've probably already discovered it).

One warning is that stats are case sensitive - so we'd definitely recommend that you standardize the creation/accessing of the stats - maybe do an uppercase() or lowercase() cast before creating / accessing them.

I hope that helps. Good luck!

Paul.

Great. This perfectly answers my question. Thank you!

Hi Paul,

Yes this answers my question. I guess since the percentage is based on the number of players, I could query the number by checking how many entries there are in a given division leaderboard?

In any case I'll stick to absolute ranks for now as you suggest. I was looking into percentages to future-proof our client API.

Thank you for the quick help!

thank you

Update: this has now been fixed!

Note - brainCloud will now send over the first part of your email address as the suggested username for the forums. The forums will automatically append a number if there are others with that username.

You can update/customize your username by clicking on your profile in the top-right, and choose Edit Profile.
There you will find a bunch of info you can customize about your user account.

Click Change Username on that screen to change your username itself.

Hope that helps!

Paul.
